4Th ride in the Amador series.  This week we add 10 miles and get to our old standard of 100' climbing per mile when we're all done.  As a bonus feature, this route has the 3 worst miles of pavement on the planet starting at mile 26. We will take it slowly but still wish we had never done it! The benefit of going down this road is a beautiful and car-less descent into the gorgeous Mokelumne River Canyon and crossing the old bridge. This is a scenic route with generally quiet roads with average climbing for the foothills, with no exceptionally steep or long climbs.

Food & Water Availability/Stops:

Mile 9: Buena Vista - convenience store

Mile 34: Jackson - full services, Raley's

Mile 49: Volcano - food & water and eclectic people 

Mile 61: Sutter Creek - Water
